The author demonstrates how the linguistic analysis of newspaper texts helps to gain insight into the construction of offenders and victims in those texts and links the findings to criminological frameworks. Tabbert employs Critical Stylistics to explore the description of participants, the presentation of speech as well as actions, states or events, and other linguistic devices employed by journalists to present a particular image of an offender or a victim in the press. This book shows the fruitfulness of an interdisciplinary approach to reveal predominant discourse on crime in society and will be of great interest to researchers in linguistics, criminology and media studies.SociolinguisticsCriminologyLinguisticsCommunicationLinguisticsMethodologySociolinguisticsCriminologyLinguisticsMedia and CommunicationResearch Methods in Language and LinguisticsSociolinguistics.Criminology.Linguistics.Communication.LinguisticsMethodology.Sociolinguistics.Criminology.Linguistics.Media and Communication.Research Methods in Language and Linguistics.306.44Tabbert Ulrikeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1032961BOOK9910151583703321Language and Crime2517270UNINA
